WONDERFUL WICHITA
Is Today The Wonder Of America

Hon. D. NJ Frost, who attended the
late meeting of the associated press in this
city, offers the following very compliment
tary words as embodying his estimate OF
our beloved, beautiful and prosperous city.
He says:
1t matters but little what may be
said or done by individuals who may
choose to visit this wonderful city of the
Arkansas valley, all must admit that it is
today the wonder of America. 1t has been
our good fortune to visit this city twice
within the last two months, and nowhere
in all our travels have We witnessed such
wonderful developments, in the line OF
improvement, as we did at that place.
Wichita is truly a city, possessing more
public spirited men aud men of capital
who are not afraid to invest at home, than
any other city in the United States today.
Moneyed men go there to live as well as .tc
invest their money land the best evidence OF
this fact is to see hundred fine, substan
tial and expensive private residences going
up in various parts Of the city,
at cost of from $4,000 to
S 90, 600 each. This is not an exageration
but the literal facts in the case. In this
most fattering progress it is aided by
the press of the city in every legitimate
way possible, which in turn is most
handsomely sustained by an appreciative
people. They work together and work
for one another's interests, ever keeping
in mind that it is for Wichita they are
laboring Among the foremost Of its
newspaper men is Marsh Murdoch, editor
of the EAGLE, a prince among the news
paper fraternity, "the noblest Roman OF
them ALL" who has penned and
sung its praises ever since Wichita was
first laid out. He was among the first on
the ground, he said, "boys, let us camp
here and build city," and they did so.
He has stayed by the camp through all of
its trials and troubles until now he rests his
weary limbs in one of the most gorgeously
arranged editorial rooms in the state of
Kansas. He stood by The boys, the town
that's now city, and the boys have stood
by him. The camp has disappeared. the
town has merged into commercial city,
and the boys-well, they arc millionaires
and Marsh Murdoch is a prince among
them

THE POPE AND THE Z. OF l..

We now know exactly what the pope
thinks of the Knights Of Labor. We get
the revelation from Bishop Ireland, who
has just returned from Rome, where he
had long interview with his holiness The
pope is in favor of the Knights of Labor SC
long as they do not interfere with the rights
of other workingmen, in preventing men
from taking the places of strikers. for in
instance. And the pope in this matter i:
sound. We hold that in America, and &C
cording to the genius our government, suy
m m has right to strike as often as hi
p,eases and with whom he pleases, but b.
AIS no right to say that another American
citizen shall or must strike also.

ASHLAND.
The People Made to Rejoice Over tn
Late Soaking Rains,

To the Editor Of the Eagle
Ashland is city of some fifteen hun
bred inhabitants, beautifully situated near
the center of Clark county, and in one re-
spect has the advantage over many other
towns as they have the county seat as
permanent thing. So many good towns
have county seat fights on their hands, but
this is not the case in Clark county. Ash
land is surrounded by a number of rich
valleys and there is no earthly reason why
they shouldn't inside of two or three years
have city of three thousand inhabitants.
Ashland is on the old Santa Fe trail, south
of Dodge City some forty miles There is
Geographic communication from Dodge
City clear into the territory, and when the
Santa Fe railroad is finished in
to the city of Ashland then
watch her boom. Those who
go to Ashland and prospect generally
buy-for Of course every reasonable person
knows that when the railroad is completed
it will enhance the value of real estate and
other property in general. Why just
think of buying quarter section of as fine
land as ever crow flew over for the pitiful
sum of $500 to 1,40O. The people how
ever have already commenced the rush.
The hotels are crowded to their utmost
capacity, one of the largest hotels in the
city, the Ashland house are building a
large addition to their already large build
| ing, in order to accommodate the immense
train. So far as getting to those border
line cities l would just say that there are
two or three of as fine stage lines as one
ever rode over, just think of the romance
connected with such q trip. Get your
baggage on board, take birth in the fine
Concord stages with six or eight fine
horses or mules TO it, and q
general driver which will keep
your lady being from the crack of his long,
keen, cutting whip. Oh it is great, if you
don't believe it go and see for yourself
Among the proprietors of the lines are
Messrs Lerh & Rosebeom of Greensburg
Riley Lake of Lake City, and Harry An
derson of Coldwater, and other prominen'
lines farther out west We found very
clever set of citizens at the city Of Ash

Newton Republican: The following, one
of the most beautiful things ever said about
Kansas, is going the rounds, credited prop
erly TO Senator Joha James Ingalls,. 1t ap
peared originally in the Kansas Magazine,
and as part of a contribution on the ill-fat
ed Albert d. Richardson, who was Mr..
ingalls, earliest friend in Kansas:
Kansas had the same fascination over
him that she does over all who have
yielded to her spell. There are some
women whom to have once loved renders
it impossible to ever love again. As the
gray and melancholy main" to the sailor,
the desert to the Bedouin, the Alps to the
nountaineer, so is Kansas to her children.
No one ever felt enthusiasm about Wis
consin, Indiana or Michigan. The idea is
preposterous. 1t is impossible. They are
great, prosperous communities, but theil
inhabitants can remove and never desire to
return. They hunger for the horizon
They make new homes without the mala

The storm Monday scared the Kansas
City people. Children in the public
schools were dismissed and sent home.
The storm was nothing but an ordinary
thunder shower. The memory of last

thirty school children were killed, was

Topeka Journal:-Fifteen thousand feet
of track is being laid daily on the Rock
Islands line south of Harrington to WITCH
tia and the Indian territory. This is con-
sidered by railroad people as putting down
rails very rapidly, and has seldom, if ever,
been exceeded in the west.

OLD JEFF DAVIS YAWP.

From the Chicago Tribune.
At Meridian, Miss, jeff Davis INDUCED
in another yawp over the bravery and
patriotism" of the rebels in assailing the
Union and defending constitutional
right" Can't something be done to stop
this hOary headed brawler from reiterating
| reasonable doctrines which even his for
mer associates have learned to deny?
Davis old coadjutor, Lamar, conceded at
Charleston the other day that only the
states belonging to the original thirteen
had any color of right to secede. and that
even Calhounism was not a blanket long
enough to cover the case of Mississippi.
Mississippi took no part in the revolution
airy war, and had nothing to do
with promulgating the declaration
of independence, and no share in
forming the union or the constitution.
Mississippi was caeated by the nation and
owes its status and existence as a state to a
voluntary act of federal power. Even
Lamar, who still glorities Calhounism, adj
mits that only four states had any show of
right to secede and that the others were all
insurgents; that he and jeff Davis and all
other Mississippi rebels acted without a
shadow of constitutional right or iustifi
|, cation and owe th6iT. III s to the clemency
of the nation But JEFF Davis, spared by
an unexampled act of mercy, now goes
about spouting treason on soil which was
acquired by the United States, made part
of the national domain, and subsequently
mapped out as a state which owes its Gre
alton and existence to national authority.
No other country ever tolerated such per
Torrance by an unrepentant rebel. Jeif
Davis is an ideal bourbon rebel; he forgets
and learns nothing, and at this continues
to out Calhoun Calhoun. Fortunately his
exhibitions can't last much longer.

For Il DOllAr.

About two weeks ago James Morgan
who had been sentenced for disorderly
conduct to twenty days on the chain
gang, escaped and as he had not been
recaptured be imagined that there were
no officers who recognized him. When
he escaped he had 81 at his disposal in
the hands of the prison keeper and yes
terday morning he called az the prison
TO collect the money. He was mistaken
about the impression his face had made
on the officers, for when Sergeant Has.

had returned to its ''nest," which was
promptly shown him in the shape OF
